Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess students’ conceptual learning of electricity and magnetism and examine how these conceptions beliefs about physics and quantitative problemsolving skills would change after peer instruction PI The Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism CSEM Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey CLASS multiplechoice test was administered as a pre and posttest with Solomon 4 group design to students N  =  138 enrolled on freshman level physics course The number of chapter taught to the students was 14 Problemsolving strategy steps were asked to students in the exam The analyses of CSEM showed that the treatment group g  =  062 obtained significantly higher conceptual learning gain than the control group g  =  036 The conceptual understanding and problemsolving skills of the students on magnetism considerably enhanced when PI was conducted 37 and 20 respectively CLASS results for 5 subscales conceptual understanding applied conceptual understanding problem solving general problem solving confidence and problem solving sophistication supported the findings of CSEM
